Development and Application of a New Convective Entrainment Rate Parameterization for Improving Precipitation Simulation Over the Tibetan Plateau and Its Surrounding Areas by Junjun Li, Chunsong Lu, Jinghua Chen, Jian Li, Jing Yang, Xiaoqi Xu, Lei Zhu, Xin He, Shiying Wu

“…Third, in terms of cloud microphysics, the increased entrainment rate reduces the cloud water content and weakens the intensity of convective precipitation. All of these mechanisms ultimately reduce the accumulated convective precipitation amount, providing an optimized modeling tool for weather and climate research over TP, which also aids in better assessing the water cycle and water resource reserves of the “Asian Water Tower.”…”
